mm, M V dB^otJ, to c l^ee. 

HIS hymn has a remarkable history. The au- 
thor, Sarah Fuller Flower, wife of William 
Bridges Adams, an eminent EngHsh engineer, 
contributed it (with others) to a small coUec. 
tion made for a chapel in London. A copy 
of this collection found its way to Pittsburg, Pa., and Dr. 
Clarke took " Nearer, My God, to Thee " for the " Service 
Book." From this it was taken for the " Plymouth Collec- 
tion," and in a short time was added to nearly all hymn- 
books. It is sung to the tune of " Bethany," not only in the 
churches of England and America, but on the continent of 
Europe and at all missionary stations, for there is not a lan- 
guage into which it has not been translated. Mrs. Adams 
did not live to see its popularity, dying of consumption a 
few years after writing it (1849).
